Next Episode: 10/14/20 - The Second Foundation – Part 2: Worldly and Unworldy Feelings

In this talk we explore how the Buddha saw pleasant, unpleasant and neutral emotion and body sensations as the ground of all thoughts, views and complex mental states. We consider ways that these sensations can be turned against us to cause unconscious harm to ourselves and others and we explore the importance of being able to make direct contact with these sensations with mindfulness in order to decrease suffering.
